We also wanted to direct you back to the Characters Guide, where we have updated with pictures and descriptions for all the Season Two characters!

It seems like we were just here celebrating “Christmas in July,” but there’s more to add! Ronnie has finished an excellent video comparing the storyboard animatic to the finished animation, and it’s a real treat to watch for fans of traditional hand-drawn animation.

Well friends, this is it. We’ve arrived at the end of a two year project. Over in our Season Two Scripts page, you’ll find the final script for Jewel Riders: The Last Dance. This was retitled “The One Jewel” for the final release, but ever since I saw the working titles on Stormy’s site so many years ago, I’ve always been fond of “The Lady of the Lake/The Last Dance” as the pair of titles for the final episodes. It has been a privilege to share these scripts with all of you, and I hope you have enjoyed the fruit of many hours of labor over a temperamental scanner. 😀 It feels strange to think this is the last month that our update will include a script scan, as it has been a staple of our updates ever since we opened our virtual doors. I hope if you haven’t taken a chance to read some of them, you check out Season One or Season Two and enjoy all the little tidbits that didn’t make it into the final production. We are still missing the script for the episode “The Wishing Jewel,” so if you happen to have a copy and would like to share scans we (and the fandom!) would be most appreciative!

There are some fun tidbits in this script, including a strange note in the Cast of Characters that says “Morgana as the Sea Witch.” We looked over the script for more info, but nothing apparent pops up. Do any of you eagle-eyed fans catch any more references to this bizarre casting? Also, keep a look out for names for the dweasels from Dweasel Nook: Pepe and Gidney! And they’re cousins to Rufus and Twig! Also note: another named Wizard, this time named Tiberius! Sadly, they never say which Jewel was his.

“The One Jewel” is a charged and emotional ending to the series, a true rarity for a piece of 90s television animation. But we can’t help but wonder what happened to our Jewel Riders after Merlin’s final words.

“Let us begin…again.”

Friends Together, Friends Forever.
